Eagle Flag of Epirus

"Of course I'm not kidding. I need a batch of new trebuchets in one month. The sooner the better. The update is the fastest." Justinian replied calmly, looking at the man in front of him.

The next war will be far different from his previous battles with the Latins in Moria. It is conceivable that the fortifications of giant cities such as Thessaloniki will be difficult, and it is absolutely impossible for Bonifaces and others to give up the fortifications. If the city does not defend it head-on, it means that Justinian must get a batch of siege equipment, and now he can only rely on Italian merchants to get the way.

However, his previous request like this was rejected by Genoa. Even if Justinian was willing to pay a higher price, the other party was unwilling to agree. Therefore, this time he can only pin his hopes on Pierre, and hope that the Pizzas can do it. Get these things for yourself.

But the man in front of him categorically rejected Justinian, "This is impossible. The Pontifical Innocent has announced an edict that all munitions are embargoed on the East Coast. There are some insignificant supplies such as food. Fortunately, weapons like trebuchets, even Western countries, are weapons in the military and will never be revealed to others. Where did I get these things for you!"

Seeing Pierre's refusal, Justinian was not very surprised. The so-called Holy See order was actually not the main reason. It was the fact that the Western countries had been in a stalemate after years of fighting. It relied on the castle walls, and the importance of siege equipment could be As you can imagine, it is indeed difficult to transport such eye-catching things as trebuchets onto the ship. And the design of the trebuchet varies from country to country. Naturally, it is impossible to disclose it to people in other countries, and it is strictly controlled. Pierre's embarrassment is indeed not excuse.

However, Justinian did not mean to give up, because he could see that Pierre, although seemingly resolute, still reluctant to part with his "collection", which shows that this man definitely has a way out. You just need to push him by yourself.

"Didn’t I have already said that, even if there are only drawings and materials, I can accept them. I believe that although these things are somewhat difficult, you will not let me down. After the matter is done, I promise not to change this. Something was leaked to anyone.” Seeing that the other party was actually afraid of taking responsibility, Justinian simply chose to open the door and directly dispelled Pierre's last worry.

"...Well, I promise you, but only this time, and the promise you just said counts?" After a long silence, Pierre finally gritted his teeth and agreed. In fact, he didn't want to go to this muddy water at all, but he really needed these things in Justinian's hands to go back to deal with each other. Ever since, the man still chose to agree to a deal with Justinian.

Seeing that the pizza guy in front of me really agreed, Justinian finally opened his face with a smile, nodded and said: "This is natural. Now that the deal is concluded, these things are all yours, and after it's done. Naturally, I still have to thank you very much." This time he also made up his mind to win, and met Pierre's conditions as much as possible.

"Well, I will deliver it within a month."

...

The prison in Tripolis is full of ragged prisoners. So overcrowded, normal people would think they were desperadoes when they saw it, but most of them were still aristocratic Moria nobles not long ago, but now they have fallen to this point.

The aristocrats who had originally been lucky enough to become prisoners still had a hint of fantasy at first, but the reality gave them a heavy blow. As the governor, Justinian pardoned most of the rebel soldiers, but the punishment of the nobles was unrelenting. The Earl of Conil and other dignitaries were directly sent to the guillotine, and their families were split. Other small and medium aristocrats were also deprived of their titles and put in prison, or they voluntarily abolished their privileges and gave up the fief and barely escaped. Today, facing the fate of life and death in the prison, these nobles also regret it. Every day there are people here who hide their faces and weep. It can be said that it is a sorrow.

However, in a prison, there is a prisoner who is completely different from the others. He is quiet every day, as if he has foreseen his fate and accepted him calmly.

At this moment, the heavy prison door in the deep prison was opened, and I saw a noble girl with long flaming red hair slowly walked in, her bright beauty suddenly seemed to disperse the cold in the prison. For the most part. And she is the noble Countess Alexia who is now second only to Justinian in Tripolis. Her arrival shocked everyone, and the jailers did not dare to disobey and neglect.

"Get out first!" Alexia said to the jailers looking behind her.

"But Master Justinian..."

"I will make this clear to the adults when the time comes. You don't have to worry about it." The girl said calmly looking at the jailer who was at a loss. However, it sounded so peaceful that there was a breathless coercion in her voice.

The guards who dared not defy nodded quickly, and quickly stepped back, not daring to stay. For a time ~www.ltnovel.com~ there were only two people in prison, Alexia and the woman in front of them.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Miss Alexia, I thought I would never see you again!" The woman who had been facing the prison walls finally turned her head and looked at the noble girl who came here. Depending on. The last time we met, it was clear that their positions were completely opposite, but now they have exchanged each other, and they just feel like a world away.

Alexia, who had mixed feelings, nodded and replied: "Yes, it's been a long time, Grandma Zoe." Seeing the people who were once relatives have fallen to this, she is also embarrassed at this moment, and because of this, Only then did she choose to come here.

"Are you married?" Suddenly seeing the wedding ring on Alexia's hand, unexpectedly Zoe looked at the girl and asked.

And Alexia clenched her fingers and nodded and admitted: "Yes, I agreed to Focas' proposal not long ago and the wedding was held soon." In fact, Alexia’s The wedding was unexpected to everyone. Although Focas made great contributions in countering the rebellion, no one in the whole city expected that Alexia, the jewel of Moria, would have so simply agreed to it. Marry this little nobleman who was previously inconspicuous.

And Zoe did the same, but looking at Alexia’s expression, the woman half teased: "It turned out to be that kid, I thought it was Justinian! But it's normal, too. Joseph Focas It is indeed someone who can be entrusted to him. The hiddenness is so deep that I still look away from His Highness Osgros. Your vision is correct, relying on him, even if the Papadoros family has been cleansed, there will be a revival. Hope. But is this really what you want?"
